Anyone running the older white brothers? These things tuned in flawlessly and have been amazing forks.

Can run either bud. The lack of an arch on the lowers means there is room for both sizes.

Yeah I was running 650b on my 26" Dorados no problem.
They have a pretty tall axle to crown height for a 26" fork - you may need to raise the crowns up a bit though.

Then test with most of the air out of the fork to make sure it clears at bottom out.
I had plenty of room.

Have since changed my Dorados out for a set of 650b Emeralds though ^_^
Shame I haven't been able to ride recently though....soon!

Just upgraded my Shiver To Intrinsic Air.
It used to have a coil backed IFP and a silly SPV compression valve, now it has an air backed IFP and shimmed compression damper with low speed adj.
My "ShivAir" is working even better than ever. I reckon this is almost as good as it gets... Until I manage to adapt my Elka cartridge to fit...
Also got a new frame a while ago. Katipo DH
ShivAir RC
Intrinsic SPV Intrinsic Air Upgraded my damping to the air backed compression damper. Whole new cart as the air unit does not fit in the older cartridge body. Different threads too

`That conversion looks good man. I went for Avalanches in my '05 to keep the buttery coil feel though.
I figured there's no point trying to lose much weight since its always gonna be a Shiver chassis anyway.

The Avys put the damping control on a par with '15 40-Floats and even the '15 Boxxer Charger i have
but still held back by the flexiness/weight of the shiver chassis.

Good work though!
